The first Indian Limited edition collection I wanted
to lay my hands on and could also afford to! I am right, right?

Yes, I am right! \:D/
I agree that I have many makeup products beautiful
than these in my vanity. But for the first time I have seen lipsticks like
these. They impact a look of jelly from inside and I have to resist biting
them. See the image below where I gave into temptation a little and squeezed
the balm a bit to see what would happen. And the result is front of your eyes. And
then when I bought the lipsticks, I also fell for the beautiful blush.
Beginning with lipsticks,
Chambor
Claims: This lipstick offers a pop of colour on the
lips, keeping them moisturized. The colour is provided by the gloss core while
the shine and hydration is boosted by the clear outer balm. Smoothens the lip
lines, improves dryness and peeling.
My
experience with them:
I could not decide on one and therefore bought both.
Plus I only had 10 minutes to check out this collection and buy them. The
lipsticks are packed in a cardboard box with hues of blue, green and white. They
are housed in a glossy teal packaging and the cap shuts down easily every time.
Plus they are light-weight.
Now look at the insides! How unique, right? The
lipstick is surrounded by a transparent balmy core which actually looks like
plastic but isn’t. Plus, Chambor is written on the tube. As expected, the texture
is gentle but you have to drag it around lips a bit. There’s no harshness while
doing that. You know how you have to swipe on tinted lip balms 2-3 times to
build on the opacity. It’s the same case with them. They feel like balm and
with 2-3 swipes, they give a full coverage on my non-pigmented lips which was a
surprise for me as I wasn’t expecting that. However for pigmented lips, the opacity
might be a bit lower than full coverage. The plus point here is that they
hardly feel sticky. They will keep your lips moisturized for as long as they
are on your lips. The only annoying thing for me is their artificial scent.
The staying power is disappointing for me but I’m not
counting that against Chambor as they made no such claims (Thank You!). They
last for 3+ hours on their own but transfer easily with snacks and drinks in
between. I tried them on top of some other lipsticks but there wasn’t a quite
noticeable difference with regard to this area.
Both the shades are super pretty and apt for our warm
skin tones as they are deep yet brighten up face. I like the berry pink ( Ice
berries) more. Although currently I am not suffering from dry lips, I do face
them if I wear lipsticks for a whole week. I wore these continuously for a week
(alternating between shades) and my lips felt only a little parched. Whoa!
Besides the brilliant concept, the two reasons why
you might like to try these lipsticks:
- -
Tinted lip balms with a beautiful color
pay off
-
- Shades should work for your skin tone

My experience
with Chambor Blush “Mermaid”:
If you are a
regular reader of my blog, you will know my love for peach shades. Upon seeing
their press release, I had planned on getting the peach version only. But when
I swatched it in store, I found it too sheer and knew it would not last long
for my skin. And then, I decided to check out this other shade which in my head
was going with quite a lot of deep lipsticks and I am glad!
Again, the blush
comes in a gorgeous reflective teal packaging with Chambor’s logo on it. More
brands here need to do it. It’s like nameless packaging is trending here. Don’t
you think so too? The small brush provided in it was used by me to blend the
blush on my hand while swatching it. Do not use it on face. It’s scratchy and
won’t even blend your blush properly.
The matte finish
blush has a bit powdery texture but nothing bothersome and it is smooth. I
hardly need to put in efforts to blend it as it does so easily. I need two
swipes of it and I am done, which means it’s well pigmented at the first go
itself. So start with a lesser amount at first. But If I know I have to travel
far, I put on three swipes. I always do this as I have a super oily skin and
after a bit, the pigmentation gets boiled down due to my oily glands. With a
primer, it lasts for more than 6 hours on my skin which is really good. On
normal-combination skin, it should last for longer.
I am pretty happy
with it!
